You know.....?? There was something...shall we say...odd about my conversation with Samson....
He did not utter the word "Octopus" once!
Don't any of you find that strange?
Is that like Old Vah-Jay-Jay?...
peace...

Dunno! Maybe the cocktail hostess was too young! He didn't even hit on her or pinch her ass or anything!! Man O the world like that ... perhaps he was just too involved with the construction of that Vodka martini. Had to be freezin cold...Absolute.. No colored glass...stack O olives on the side.. Christ! it's not like the poor girl put an umbrella in his drink!!
AND!!! As he said we were in one of the best seafood places in town and the waitress.. says they got ONE Dungeness crab left. I was gettin pretty nervous cuttin it that close....THEN she comes back and said THAT one crab had escaped to parts unknown and it was too late to send out a search party....so he had to make do with a teensy weensie crab cocktail!! I thought he was gonna go ballistic. This gal must play poker cuz she could see he was bluffing.. I didn't see the "tell" but she played him tough and told him straight up that the little scoop of FROZEN crab was gonna nick him $15.95!!!
THEN!!!... He just whips out the credit card and pays her like it was nothin!! I woulda told her that I could buy a fuckin crab pot for ten bucks down at Fisheries Supply and toss the sucker in the sound and have REAL CRAB meat in about an hour!!!
Not Samson ...No..sereee! He just passes the "savings" on to the poor saps that paid him to come to his interview!
Gotta admit...he has balls of brass to charge that refinery damn near $16 for 4 tablespoons of crab meat.

I also wrote off the Martini.
If it makes you feel any better, I understand you'll be paying $5/gallon gas this summer to offset my trip.
The girl wasn't my type....blonde, and untattoed (or likely).
At this exact moment I'm in Albequerque at Twin Peaks surrounded by waitresses in high heels, stockings, and white halter tops showing as much clevage as is legal outside a titty bar. Its "Librarian Week."
You can read my review of the OKC Twin Peaks, here.http://www.usmessageboard.com/food-and-wine/164620-restaurant-alert-tx-nm-ok-ks-ne.html
I've messaged Hjick and Foxfyre to join me....
And I'm really disappointed that I can't too as we're expecting out of town company within the hour and I'm still fighting the bug of the week. I've already explained that we can't come to Twin Peaks anyway as Hombre has a real prejudice against fish tacos.
Have a great time in our fair city though and we'll catch you on the return visit.
Well its been a month
Haven't heard anything, nada, zip........AND I HAVE NOT BEEN REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES.
Should I get pissed off?

Good thing ya only had the $15.95 cocktail and not the $34.95 whole crab. See how things work out for the best!
The guy that interviewed ya probably got blown up. It happens all the time up there.
Glad I found this thread LOL.
Building an itinerary for a 3 day visit early August.
Plus I had a lot of laughs reading the posts. You guys are fucking insane.
Cutting and pasting as I read.
We're parking the kid at Cornish for 3 weeks. Renting car for our brief stay.
Got an eye on that La Quinta (next to Denny's) downtown. Reasonable rate, and FREE parking.
So, anything new and exciting for that time of year?

First week of August? You'll probably have sunshine, it's one of the few weeks in the year when it's practically guaranteed. (don't hold me to that, it's still Seattle)
Don't forget to do the ghost tour. Be sure and see the flying fish at Pike Place Market and visit the original Starbucks (if you don't, I'll tell the people in the coffee shop )
3 days isn't a lot of time for Seattle. There's a lot to do along the waterfront. There's the Space Needle and the Science Center, and the EMP if you want to see the ugliest building in the world. It's a great museum too, I just can't get past the building.
There's the Ballard Locks, the Freemont Troll, do the Ducks if you get a chance, they are boats that go on land and sea, great tour if a little pricy.
